Document Summary

Enzyme: makes a chemical reaction take place more easily (like a catalyst). It does not change the reaction, it just creates the environment for change to occur more easily: the amount of energy required does not change. Acid: substance that in water increases the concentration of hydrogen ions. Base: substance that in water increases the concentration of hydroxide ions: acids and bases tend to neutralize each other, scale: ph. <7 is acid =7 is neutral and >7 is base. Kinetic energy: molecules always have kinetic energy, they are always moving, temperature is just a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules. In a solid they don"t move very much. Diffusion: the net movement of substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration: the molecules are moving at random, must look at the concentration of the molecule. Osmosis: the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.
